Selling 10lbs or marijuana within a 12-month period is a felony, punishable with a life term of imprisonment without parole. Providing the prosecution information on others who violate the law can reduce this penalty.

Hash & Concentrates

The sale, barter, manufacture, transfer, or distribution of hashish, or possession of hashish with intent to take any of the above actions is subject to up to 30 years imprisonment and a fine of no more than $1,000,000 and no less than $5000.

Trafficking hashish is subject to a mandatory minimum penalty of 30 years imprisonment without the possibility of parole or a reduction in the sentence. It is also subject to a fine no less than $5000 and no more than $1,000,000.

Possession of .1g or less of hashish may be prosecuted either as a felony or misdemeanor. If prosecuted as a misdemeanor, it is subject to imprisonment for no more than 1 year and a fine of no more than $1000. If prosecuted as a felony, it is subject to no more than 4 years imprisonment, with a 1-year mandatory minimum, and a fine of no more than $10,000.

Sale or distribution of Hashish by a person over 21 years old to a person under 21 years old doubles the maximum allowable period of incarceration for that offense. The fine for the offense does not change.

Sale, barter, distribution, transfer, or manufacture of hashish or possession with intent to commit any of the above offenses within 1500 feet of a school building or other designated place or within 1000 feet of the property a school building or other designated place resides on doubles the maximum allowable period of incarceration for that offense.
The fine for the offense can also be doubled in this situation. A subsequent conviction under this statute will lead to the imposition of the maximum allowable fine and incarceration period.

The maximum period of incarceration and maximum fine for any crime under this section may be doubled for any person who, at the time of their conviction, has a prior conviction for any similar drug crime.

The use of a gun in the commission of any drug crime or possession of a gun at the time of arrest for a drug crime doubles both the maximum allowable period of incarceration and the maximum fine for any given offense.

Paraphernalia

Using, or possessing paraphernalia is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a maximum fine of $500. This does not apply to individuals convicted of one ounce or less; in that case the possession punishment would be the only penalty.

Selling paraphernalia is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine or up to 6 months in jail. Additionally, selling paraphernalia to a minor is punishable of up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail.

Miscellaneous

Possession of between one and 30 grams kept in a vehicle is punishable of a fine up to $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail. This only applies to areas in the vehicle occupied by passengers and does not apply to a locked glove compartment or trunk.

Decriminalization

The state has decriminalized marijuana to some degree. Typically, decriminalization means no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal consumption. The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.

Mandatory Minimum Sentence

When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher sentence. The judge has no power to sentence the defendant to less time than the mandatory minimum. A prisoner serving an MMS for a federal offense and for most state offenses will not be eligible for parole. Even peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to “life MMS” must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole.

Medical CBD

This state has passed a medical CBD law allowing for the use of cannabis extracts that are high in CBD and low in THC to treat severe, debilitating epileptic conditions.
